X-Division Title Tournament Qualifier: Dakota Darsow vs. Flip Cassanova

Flip Cassanova lands an awesome backflip atomic butt drop. He comes off the ropes and Darsow counters with a dropkick. Cassanova does a lot of flips. He does a springboard corkscrew moonsault to the outside of the ring. Darsow is busted open. He reverses a cross body and takes the offensive. 

Flip then takes advantage. He goes to the top and does a shooting star press into a what I believe was supposed to be a leg drop but ended up being a super atomic butt drop. Miss Tessmacher thinks Gail Kim's legal maneuvering to get the title match moved to next weak was the result of cowardice.

Madison Rayne and Gail Gim vs. Miss Tessmacher and Tara

Madison Rayne attacks Tessmacher before the bell in an underhanded tactic. She throws her out of the ring, beats her up, then throws her back in. Tag made to Gail Kim. Kim kicks Tessmacher in the leg. Mirko Cro Cop has nothing on her. 

Grazing closed-fist blows land to the stomach of Kim, but Gail seems shaken by them regardless. Both women make it to their corners for the tag. Tara controls Rayne out of the gate. 

Tara was going for the Widow's Peak but Kim interrupted, so she kicks her and does it again. Tessmacher gets the tag and and gets the pin. What a way to build excitement for the title match next week.

Winner : Tessmacher and Tara via pin.

Only goes for a DDT off the top, misses, and then he goes for something like a Russian leg sweep/neckbreaker and it looked absolutely awful. Despite clearly hitting nothing, he goes for a pin, and predictably doesn't get it. Only goes for it again and King back flips off the rope and kicks Only in the head.
